- Rebecca Cooper, Founder of Rebecca's House, has announced today that Rebecca's House has hired Dr. Christopher Jones as the new Clinical Director of the Eating Disorder Program.

Dr. Christopher Jones, an international educator, speaker and writer, has years of experience in clinical assessment, co-occurring disorders, and spirituality. In addition to working with clients with eating disorders and disordered eating, he brings to the team prior experience in alcohol and drug counseling, general adult and child psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, pastoral counseling, federal probationer counseling, and county DUI/Drug Court consulting. In both inpatient and outpatient settings, Dr. Jones has worked with clients in their recovery who are talented and gifted young adults, survivors of trauma, formerly homeless youth. Dr. Jones has also been on faculty at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and taught adolescents in rural India. A Dr. Jones degree includes an M.Div. from Yale and a Ph.D. from Vanderbilt, and holds a certificate in advanced psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Current statistics show that only one in ten people with eating disorders receive treatment. With eating disorders on the rise and the economy still on the decline, this statistic is expected to worsen in coming months. "Destabilization can be highly triggering to those struggling with eating disorders, often mirroring feelings of fragmentation and chaos in their internal world," Dr. Christopher Jones states. "Our clients come to us bereft, having focused their attention so long on external solutions. In our clinical work, we refocus clients toward the locus of their recovery: their inner experience."

Rebecca's House continues its excellent client service and care that has established itself as one of the most sought after eating disorder treatment centers in the country. Their client service offerings include extended care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, transitional living, group therapy, private counseling, nutritional expertise, equine therapy and more.
